Overview
Pepper 'Aji Rico' F1 Organic is an All-America Selections winner that brings the citrusy character of the aji peppers to a hybrid that matures earlier and yields more than most hot types. The narrow conical fruit has thin, crisp walls and a medium heat level, and it can be picked green or left to ripen red; both stages are good raw or cooked. The plants are large and indeterminate in habit, so they do best in the ground rather than in pots, with room to spread. Organic seed is available. A useful pepper for gardeners in shorter seasons who still want a bright, fruity chili for salsas and hot sauce.
